Artists Assignment 2

Edward Curtis

Edward Curtis is known for his photographs of Native Americans. This would be considered a documentary photograph. The picture captures a very peaceful mood. The man is relaxed and unbothered. Emphasis in this picture comes from the black and white colors. Depth is also shown in the background through the fog.

Gordon Parks

This is a very artistic photograph. The intent is to show the emotion and expression from the woman. The emphasis comes from the contrast of light and dark colors. The leaves on the tree are dark, but a light is shining in the background lighting up the woman. There are different emotions that you could see in this picture. She looks thoughtful, yet worried about something.

Lee Friedlander

This is one of his self portraits. The intent of the photograph is to show his emotion. The black and white helps make the photograph look more peaceful. There isn't really one dominant emotion that I get from this picture. he looks content. Texture is shown in multiple places: his cloths, skin, and came

ra. It's an interesting self portrait.

Man Ray

Ray's photographs are all black and white. They would all go under the "art" category of photography. The intent of this photograph is to show the emotion in the girl's eyes. The black and white color helps bring out the makeup on her eyes, and texture is

also shown from the water drops on her face, symbolizing tears. This photograph also captures sorrow.
